Akomplice X Mitchell & Ness 10th Anniversary Collection

The '90s Are Officially Back With This Akomplice x Mitchell & Ness Collection

We grew up wearing Mitchell & Ness so to be able to do a co-branded project with them was an honor.

Labels and brands come and go, especially in the microwave-attention span world of streetwear. So for two brothers from small-town Colorado to create a brand from scratch that’s distributed in several countries and done collaborations with noted artists in just 10 years is amazing. To celebrate their company Akomplice’s anniversary, Patrick and Mike McCarney have partnered with Philadelphia heritage brand Mitchell & Ness to release a limited-edition capsule collection.

“We chose to do the collaboration with Mitchell & Ness because they are really a part of sportswear history, as well as Mike and my personal history,” says Akomplice co-founder Patrick McCarney. “We grew up wearing Mitchell & Ness so to be able to do a co-branded project with them was an honor.”

The collection celebrates the birth of Akomplice in 2004 and everything the brand has accomplished since, but the items in the collection date back 10 years prior to 1994. The '90s are a huge inspiration to the founders via music and fashion, and that theme translates through the brand as a whole. The mid-'90s staples are represented heavily with this collection in the form of contrast cut and sew jerseys, as well as a matching cyclist cap and a snapback hat. The classic navy blue and maroon color palette reinforces the nostalgic vibe, while the tagline "made in the woods" references Akomplice's humble beginnings in the mountains of Colorado. All of the items feature Akomplice’s logo on the iconic Mitchell & Ness jersey tag.

The AK x M&N jersey’s are a good marriage of a cool vintage style with Mitchell & Ness history, with throwback athletic jerseys and the current designer tank trend.

This is just the first shot in what will be a year full of cool releases coming from Akomplice. For those that missed out on some of the brand’s most popular pieces, they are re-releasing a lot of their favorite items from over the years. One item will be chosen per year from 2004-2014 for this special Holiday 2014 pack.

In the meantime, the anniversary collection will see a limited release exclusive to the Akomplice webstore and Flagship store on Thursday, July 10th at 10:00 pm Eastern.
